Wilson, Sloan
Sloan Wilsonby Robert Shenk (2000)
WILSON, SLOAN (1920-2003). Sloan Wilson was a Coast Guard officer before he became a novelist and a yachtsman before he gained a commission in the Coast Guard. He came to regard his Coast Guard experience as more educative than his B.A. from Harvard; the latter two of the three novels that he based on this seagoing service rival in quality his better-known novels, The Man in the the Grey Flannel Suit (1955) and A Summer Place (1958).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kzhe4p6x6j2xjze7byq52eg4/bafkreidrz2lho3ffajvqnfogqj3k4ha52lzzi4az3tdk7ctbbkce5snjy4@jpeg)

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.
A man pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in January 6th - he assaulted Capitol Police officers with bear spray & a metal whip - has avoided prison for child sex crimes because of the president’s sweeping pardon, despite pleading guilty to soliciting what he believed was a 15-year-old girl for sex

Seattle Times' business columnist is having a normal one. (From comments on a gracious post about a potential Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson by former mayor Greg Nickels).

Bruce Harrell ran a dishonest, sexist campaign that too many alleged liberals fell for but it still wasn't enough. Wilson ran a somewhat amateurish campaign that could have stood to be far more negative and it was just enough. Seattle still not beating the accusations

Wilson leads with 50.08% of the vote over Harrell who has 49.59% of the vote. This may now be moving out of recount territory.

I hate that ESPN continues to force this loser on us (and also Trump).
Trump to Pat McAfee: "I'm only joining you because I hear you say such nice things about me. When people say nice about me, I join. When they don't say nice about me, I take a pass."

Very interesting how men like Shannon or Nick Offerman are never presented as good role models for liberal men in essays by The Atlantic
"The danger is all around us. We are suckers for this charm. It’s going to be our downfall, it seems. We’d rather be entertained than taken care of. It’s tragic, really.”--Michael Shannon
God bless Michael Shannon. '“I’m sure anybody who’s associated with promoting and selling this movie to the world is going to be horrified by everything I’ve said in this interview,” he agrees. “But I don’t really care.”'

Their political philosophy hinges on a vision of white supremacy in which people who aren’t white are here at the privilege of white people, which they can revoke at any time, which they expect to be received with gratitude.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."
